All that has been said about it this year was said about It then: ail that Mayor Fuhrmann knows about the measure now. Alderman Fuhrmann knew about It THE CITY HAS NOT SHIFTED. THE CONDITIONS HAVE NOT CTIANGED. THE BILL IS THE SAME. THE CITIZENS OF BUFFALO ARE STILL OF ONE MIND.

Income Tax Pledge Fulfilled. The action of the Assembly yesterday was one of the utmost significance for the welfare of the Democratic party, the State, and the Nation. By ratifying the resolution for the Income Tax Amendment the Assembly confirms the action of the Senate several weeks ago in fulfilling one of the most important pledges of the Rochester platform. The Empire State, is swung Into line for popular, just and equitable Constitutional amendment' on which it has been felt all along that the action of the State of New York would probably be decisive of the success ef the Amendment, nationally considered. A crushing, rebuke Is administered to those slanderer! who have.

been saying that the New York State Democracy is seeking to avoid redemption of its campaign pledges. -Equally scathing is the reproof of Republican backing and filling in th State. It will not be forgotten at thlstime' that It was Governor Hughes, who, while professing to be In favor of the Income Tax principle, really filed a brief against it, and by putting technical objections in a message; gave the Republican Legislature the pretext it was so anxious for, of shelving the amendment altogether. It will not be forgotten, 1 that not content with the Hughes idea, the Republican machine brought about the defeat of the amendment by a series of parliamentary Juggles, so double-faced, shifty, and outrageous, that to "this day it remains in doubt whether If there had been an absolutely fair and aboveboard vote, a vote free from occult Influences, and from the maneuvering of bosses outside as wel as inside the Legislature, the Amend-ment could have been beaten at all. It this bad work done.

by the Republicans, which the Democrats have undone. It is on the space from which the Republican Junk has been cleared away, that the Democratic -Governor, Senate and Assembly have reared the edifice of honest representation of the electorate of the State in the ratification of the Income Tax Amendment. Republican editors are beginning to carry Democratic and doubtful states' for the' next Presidential election. It Is simply a case of habit, and quite harmless. Nothing easier" for the Republican press than the naming of the candidate and the issue in Democratic politics in 1912.
